Rosacea: Beyond the visible

Recommended Posts

Galderma has released a report, Rosacea: Beyond the visible, which is an "An open letter to doctors treating rosacea," answering seven questions proposed about treating rosacea. Galderma sponsored a 'global survey of rosacea burden' of 710 rosaceans and 554 doctors which is used as data for the report with the stated goal of achieving total clearance (IGA 0). The report acknowledges, "Although we can’t yet promise ‘clear’ to all people, current treatments are now getting more people to ‘clear’, with combined therapy or even with monotherapy. By aiming for ‘clear’ (IGA 0) we can help free more people from their rosacea burden." One statement that explains rosacea best in the report is, "Ultimately, rosacea is a subjective and entirely individual experience." While we try to categorize rosacea into phenotypes and treatment protocols, there is no one treatment that works for everyone.
